The car was invented (发明) just a century ago. You may know all kinds of cars' names, but many people don't know who was the inventor of the first car. The first car was invented not by a German, but by an American. His name was Henry Ford. Henry was born in a poor family. He was the eldest of six children. When he was a boy, he became interested in mending watches and machines. When he was twelve years old, his mother died. Soon he had to work in a machine shop for two dollars and fifty cents a week. In the evenings he repaired watches for another dollar a week. The hard life made him strong and able.
At that time there was another interest in the life of the young ford. He dreamed(梦想) to make a machine. It could run without a horse, so named “horseless carriage.” He over-came(克服) a lot of difficulties and in April 1893, the “horseless carriage” was finally finished. It was the first car.

答案以及解析
一、单项选择
1.答案：A
解析：句意：—我感到很紧张，我该怎么办？—你最好听听能帮助你放松的音乐。考查定语从句和情景交际。helps you relax帮你放松；you can dance你能跳舞；makes you sad让你伤心。分析句子可知，that后是定语从句，修饰名词music，B项语法上错误，应是you can dance to；结合“I feel so nervous, what should I do ”可知，空处给出的建议应是帮助对方消除紧张，所以A项符合语境，故选A。
2.答案：A
解析：句意：—为什么现在很多农民把他们的产品放到网上？—为了更容易卖出去。考查疑问词辨析。why为什么；how如何；when什么时候。根据“To sell them more easily.”可知，是询问原因，所以用why，故选A。
3.答案：B
解析：句意：一个十八岁的男孩李文学习很努力，在期末考试中取得好成绩。考查形容词用法。此空修饰名词boy，用“数词-可数名词单数-形容词”作定语。故选B。
4.答案：B
解析：考查动词木定式作状语的用法。句意:今天,我们必须继续努力以保持我们的天蓝、水清、地净。此处用动词不定式表示目的,故选B。
5.答案：C
解析：考查动词时态。句意:昨天我的朋友给我打电话时,我正在厨房帮妈妈。此处强调过去某个时间正在发生的动作,用过去进行时。故选C。
6.答案：A
解析：考查形容词的比较等级。句意:心理健康和身体健康十样重要。as...as...中间用形容词或副词原级。故选A。
7.答案：C
解析：动词短语辨析。句意为:当Xiaogang的父母很忙时,Xiaogang(会)帮忙他的妹妹。look up查阅;look like看起来像;look after照顾。根据句意可知,此处指照顾妹妹。故选C。
8.答案：B
解析：考查易混短语辨析。句意：我爷爷过去常在晚饭 后在家看电视，但现在他习惯了出去散步。used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”，used to后需要接动 词原形，而 be used to doing sth.则表示“习惯做某事”，be used to后需要接名词或动名词。故选B。
9.答案：A
解析：考查词义辨析。alone独自，副词；lonely孤独的，有一定的感彩。第一空是修饰动词lives，应用 副词alone；第二空表示感到孤独，应用lonely。故 选A。
10.答案：C
解析：What does Yuan Longping look like 用于提问人的身材、样貌等特征，可以翻译成“他长什么样？”，后一句就是回答“他中等身材”。固定句式of medium height表示中等身高。故选C。
